This ux issue happens because it's easy to assume that selecting frames and then pressing import frames would work.

But instead you need to select frames, add frames from selection and then press import frames.

maybe a solution could be that if pressing import frames and there are currently no frames added it will:

- add and import all frames if no selection is active

- add selected frame and import if a selection is active

is there a new message whenever you try to add a color or trying to save a new palette?

It works for me, but I saw someone else with the same issue on the Construct Community Discord. Can you check if there is an error in the console (f12)?

you need to press this plus button first, it's a bit awkward UX wise.

I usually have a user settings save file with stuff like keybinds, volume settings etc. as that type of data should persist across different saves and across deleting saves. It would be a good place to store the last used save too.

Mhm at least for me naively it sounds like CEF would not be that much of a burden as you already need to maintain it for Linux/steamDeck.

Also as it's the suggested solution by Valve for this issue I think it sounds like the best, most stable solution.

As you are already using CEF for Linux it may be a possibility. According to valve that enables a workaround:

families mean you can make assumptions that certain behaviors, variables and effects are on that type. So they are very important for scripting and currently there is no way to know if an instance is part of a specific family.

I assume it only returns something in a specific trigger, I don't have a midi device to test though.

The expression dictionary states: Control number/value for a Control Change message (0-127). So by that I am fairly certain it needs to be used in a "on message" trigger with the message type set to "control changed".

you have to think about what the expression will look like after it has been evaluated.
